- When people are thinking about the Saturn modem they are usually thinking of the Saturn X-BAND Modem cartridge sold by Sega. However, although not widely known there was another Saturn Modem cartridge made by Victor. You probably more familiar with the V-Saturn console made by Victor, not the Modem cartridge.
- This was the part of Internet starter kit, which included the V-Saturn, a modem, and a browser disk. It was offered when you sign up the internet plan and part of experimentation Victor took before SEGA introduced X-BAND Modem.
- The content of the internet service was rather shrouded in mystery and not much was known about the exact contents but from several sources the main feature of this so called online service was centered around the sales of food products sent directly from the producers bypassing the middle men.
- Another major difference was unlike the X-BAND modem from Sega that needed a smart media card for the payment, as shown in the picture the Victor Modem did not need one. Instead, a monthly payment was charged directly to the bank account which was nominated at the time of sign up.
- Around that time, Windows 95 and the emergence of Internet boom were in full swing, and home multimedia devices were trying to be connected to the Internet. However, the infrastructure of the Internet had not yet fully matured, and telecommunications costs were prohibitively expensive. Thus the merit of the said system was limited to minority users who could afford the member-only content. When compared to the i-mode which came out little later, it could be said that there was no real merit, furthermore the cost was not much different from neighboring grocery store at the end.
- Model: RN-M141

If anyone have more information about the internet starter kit where the V-Saturn and this modem came, that would be highly appreciated. I've been searching for over a decade but without much success.
